So, I traded off my 2019 Electra Glide Standard straight up for a 2019 Sport Glide in red. Staged up to 114 with Big Radius pipes, cam, etc. I fell in love with the bike and stripped it down to cruiser mode. I was so pleased with it that I sold my Suzuki sport bike and bought a 2018 Sport Glide in black. Stock 107 with an upgraded seat (Sundowner) and a windshield. I set the red one up for jamming a cigar in my face and cruising around local with it. Set the black one up for longer range riding. Left the bags and the fairing on.
I don't quite understand why HD made these for only a few years. IMO it's one of their best kept secrets. I was tired of the big baggers (owned 3 of them), and didn't want any of the new soft tail models.
And, I have no off switch and the sport bike was gonna get me kilt! I bought it and turned all the nanny systems off and had a blast. Too much of a blast. Had it for a year and by the time I got rid of it I had turned almost all of the nanny systems on... to the point that it wasn't fun anymore.
Folks might think I'm crazy for having two bikes of the same model, but there's a guy in Great Britain who has 3 of them.
I have a 2019 Sport Glide bought new 51k miles. Did the stage 3 114 when new. It made 118 hp with the se-498 cam compliant and 135 hp with a f35a cam Powervision tuner. With the no tools quick release fairing & bags I ride it both ways. Makes for easier cleaning also.
Raised the suspension 2 great mod no more heel or pegs scrapes in the twistys. It always handled well but now with more available lean angle. I think it was too close to what they have since did with the LRST so they stopped selling them here. 🤷♂️ But it has been the best selling softail in Europe for several years.

I brought one the first year they came out. Painted the bags and side covers and put an FXRT fairing on it. Nice bike, but I really missed having an EVO so I sold it and bought a 99 FXSTC.
